Lest We Forget

[splashmountainfreak]

Thank a Veteran today, and honour those who gave their lives to give us what we have today.

In Flanders Fields

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you're reading it in English, thank a Veteran.

An important day to remember. I've done a few personal things to remind me how thankful I need to be to the people who have protected and served our country.

To any MiceChat vets, a hearty thank you!

Thank you veterans!

In my classroom I had my students write thank you letters to veterans and soldiers.

Then today I attended the local veteran's day today and bought a poppy.

*claps* Nice thread!
